DR. PRATT'S STATEMEMT
TO THE DEPUTY SHERIFF
Proceedings of Coroner's Inquest To
dayFellow Passenger Gives Testimony-What
Captain Bray
Said.
It was thought that tho session of
the Coroner's Jury In the caie of ,tho
death of the man nt the Sailors' Home
Sunday night or early Monday morn
ing would. finish Its dellberntlonsat JUv
session la A night. When .Uin? (furors
assembled a,t the police Btatlon.C(Sio
ncr ChllllngworJh made the statement
that DrJ Pfa'tt had performed a post
mortcavlxamlnntlon on the body of the
deceased but.that he had .not been
nble to nrrhe at any conclusion as to
the cause of death. The session was
then adjourned and the next -meeting
was called for 12 noon today.
At today's session, the first witness
put on the stand wnB Captain Bray, the
manager of tho Sailors' Home. He
stated that he did nol know much about
the man.- He nrrhed at the Sailors'
Homo between 1 nnd 3 o'clock Sunday
ancrnoon and mado arrangements for
a bed. He paid for two da) a' In ad
vance. The witness stnted further that
he did not make any particular In
quiries about tho man's nnme. Ho
thought that It was Samuel. However,
ho could not be sure about this. One
of the sailors who slept In the same
room to which the dead man had been
assigned, stnted last night that, whrn
he went to bed nt about 11:30 o'clock
on Sunday night, he saw the roan on
the cot near the open window. He
heard someone groan during the night
but did not think tho circumstance
of enough Importance to bother about.
When ho awoko In tho morning, ho saw
that the man on the cot near the win
dow was blng In the very same posi
tion ns on the night before when he
pnlsod by on his way to his own cot.
He thought this was rather peculla.
The omy other Tltnoss examined wn
H L. Stroud who was n fellow passen
ger from Vancouver with th cdeccased
They were both together In tho second
cabin. He met tho man when nliput a
da) out, bound for Honolulu On the
trip, ho learned thnt ho was from Se
attle and that he had, of lat. been
fishing at arIous placet ilonp 'ho
Sound. He was troubled with hemt
disenso and during tho past two or
three months, this jnulady had brer
growing on him. It was his Intention
to come to Honolulu and then to pro
cced to Hllo In tho Klnau today to ir.ee.
his brother who wns n compositor on
ono of tho papers nt that place.
Tho wltmsa wint on to say that tli--mnn
suffucd a gieat deal on tho trip
down and that nt ono time, ho v.'.n
forced to call to his assistance ono of
tho passengers nenr him In older to be
able to get to tho port hole for air. It
seemed as If ho would suffo j'c. Af
ter this spell, ho was very weal, and r
nialncd so throughout the trip. He
saw the man Just ns ho was about to
get Into a buck to go from tho a earner
to his lodgings, Ho looked very weak
nt that time. From tho way t-o man
talked, ho bellovcd him to bo a jur
man. n Swede or a Norwegian l!a did
not Inqulro as to tho man's nariu
When this witness had nnlsl.rd lus
testimony, Deputy Sheriff Chilling-
w oi th announced thit he would !mo to
nsk the Jurois to como buck again
on Thursday us tho contents of .ho
dead man's stomaih weio now being
anal) zed by Chemist Shoiey who had
stated that he could not have a lepott
ready until that time.
The deputy, sheriff stated further that
Dr, Pratt of tho Board of Health had
discovered u degeneration of tho heart
hut not serious enough to causo doth.
He was of the opinion that thero was
poison of somo kind In the stomach.
Theio wns certainly something wrong.
Chemist Shorcy jivould not sta'a thrt
there was poison In tho stomaiii but
he did say that thero was some kind
of an Irritant present.
It had been thought from nil known
of tho man that ho had died from the
cffeits of suffocation, but theso state
ments go to show that there Ib flimo
ground for the supposition that tl i
man died from tho effects of some poi
son. Now thnt the matter has gone
that tar, tho case will ha most thor
oughly Investlgatid by tho police and
ll" olUccrs of tho Board of Health ' on
ccrned In tho matter, it may bo that
IK
m
(he deceased suffered such Intense pair,
from the affection of the heart be com
pallnedl about, that he decided to stand
It no longer and took poison.

sulllclcnt to account fur the demand
In thnt stock."
Mr Shingle was asked If last crop

"A largo part of the sugar went

It will bo several months jet before

Considerable feeling has been arous
ed oi er the fuct that the soldiers ou
board the transport Warren hae been
denied shore leae, In consequence 'of
which, many hate lolated the rules,
nnd laid themsrlies Unfile to court

from the War Department In Wash
ington which 'pi'rlncally states, that
"nil transports plying to and from
Manila by the way of pan Francisco,
that no permits tm shore lenr shall
be Issued 4 to soldiers ;n transit,'
The measure was oritfnnlT) passed to

has enabled the soldiers on board the

Tho arrhnl of a transport In the har
